today, i went to netcom and saw kash. he had bad news to tell me. our dear friend, John Lau, had passed away last friday. heart attack. none of us believed it at first but we learned to accept the fact that he's really gone. but we will always remember him in our hearts as a very good friend, a funny guy indeed, and his appetite. sigh. rest in peace bro. we'll be missing you.
anyway, today is also the day that nana is going back to uk. me, douse and sai spent the afternoon looking for something to give her as a farewell gift. douse got her a small friendship book, sai got her something in a medium-sized box which i didnt get to see and i got her a farewell card. we took turns writing in it and we even glued a pic of us three. we took the pic using douse's Nokia7610 and we printed the pictures at an express printing shop nearby. i had showered at douse's place and around 7pm we went to the airport. afham dropped by before we went tho, so it is now 4 of us. when he came to douse's room, his sister went up a bit later to give him his easi recharge card. i had never seen his sister before and when i did, my mouth was gaping so wide they cud stuff in lots of socks in my mouth before i closed it. LOL. anyway, we went to the airport, chilled around a bit and around 7.30pm nana and co came. at last. her flight was at 8.05pm so i guess she didnt have that much time left so when she came i gave her the card straight away; without introducing myself. i was so embarrased coz when i gave her the card, her expression was like, 'whos this?' and i was like, 'oh im syaf btw'. then i went as far away as i could from her going away group and joined daniel and co's. yes, they were there too, sending off umi whos also going to uk to study. najib, roy, khalid, alim, kamal, azam, yulia, damn there were lots of them. i just wandered around and i cud actually feel my face heat up a bit. damn i knew my face was kinda red from embarrasment. i just kept quiet the whole time, wanting douse to go back home asap. i wanted to just go away and hit myself in the head using douse's guitar. damn. its not her fault, actually tha blame's on me. but what cud i do? i was very nervous and the decision for me to give her the card was made last minute. i actually asked douse to give it to her but i thought, 'hey, doing it myself wud be a big change, so i thought that i cud just do it myself. but no~ i scrood up. sigh. what to do? its the past so i jsut forgot about it already. from the airport, we went back to douse's crib. i jammed using his guitar until i went home to release the stress i was feeling at that time. i even borrowed some of douse's naruto vcds coz i know i dont have anything to do at home so i just might as well get back to my naruto sessions. bah thats all for now. ciao~
